Collect: Skybox Risk Control automatically collects data from threat feeds, vulnerability scanners and patch management systems - as well as network device configurations for firewalls, routers, load balancers, and more. Risk Control incorporates information about assets and the relative value of systems and services that are necessary to rank potential risks.

Analyze: The Risk Control analytical engine normalizes the information into a CMDB, creates a model of the network, and incorporates Skybox vulnerability content with intelligence about the likelihood and severity of potential attacks. A Skybox IT risk assessment is conducted from theattackers point of view – identifying possible access paths and the security gaps that can be used to reach critical assets.

Report and Act: With Risk Control, network security managers get immediate information on the most critical risks and remediation alternatives. Connected to a ticketing system, Risk Control immediately notifies the IT security team of problems in the system – before they become emergencies.
